Base and bottom trimmed. Made by coiling and throwing, finished with smoothing or polishing of the body surface up to the shoulder.

White stones in the clay. The clay body is similar to that of S2005.137. If Vietnamese, it is probably from the south (where she did not survey as intensively) rather than the center or north (where she looked intensively at unglazed stoneware). The clay body is close to that used for the cylindrical nuoc mam vessels (S2004.195–211). The base is also similarly finished.

2. (Louise Cort, 18 October 2005) Morimoto Asako questioned the nature of the marks on the base of this jar, which seemingly have been worn off by use. Perhaps they were the imprint of the surface on which the jar rested after forming, rather than of a cord used to separate the jar from the wheel.

Preparing for her presentation to the Washington Oriental Ceramic Group, Morimoto Asako grouped S2004.213–222 as coming from southern Vietnam and noted that this jar resembled them in the clay body and treatment of the base.
